Issue in Event logging

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have coded my application to report it is errors to the event log, using the ReportEvent API in VB6. This all works fine, however I would like to remove (or have finer control over) the additional text placed in the event description, eg:
Quote:
The description for Event ID ( 6 ) in Source ( myApp ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.

Thanks
PG

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363661.aspx[^]
A hint is in there.
Shortly, you must make the registry key for your application log.
